I am thinking of their advantage in the air here. Imagine them having their strongest Damane opening gates for the Raken To'Raken, and having them quickly raid and attack any position they wish. Just open up a gate at night, send a small attacking force through, quick attack, and back through the gate. They could do some serious damage. This is of course assuming that the gates could be made large enough. If they can...


As for the weapon; they now have some serious leads pointing to the fact that there is no such thing. They would surely believe the leader of the White Tower would know of such weapons.

The Seanchan have to look at the raid as an amazingly successful endeavor. (especially when you look at all the new weaves they just learned, such as invisibility, illusion, healing)
